Bump most QEMU defconfigs (every one that was previously on 5.4.y)
to latest longterm kernel 5.10.7.

Please note the following exceptions/modifications:
- board/qemu/qemu_s390x_defconfig: ignored (already up to date)
- board/qemu/sh4*-r2d:
    - Remove the remaining kernel patch [1] provided by Alan Modra
      fixing rodata alignment, carried here by Romain Naour [2] to
      fix an issue preventing kernel from booting with binutils 2.23.
      Patch is present in upstream Linux now.
    - Fix compile-time error regarding 64-bit time data structures
      from kernel headers when building with uclibc. Previous fix [3]
      existed upstream; but see details below.
    - board/qemu/ppc-mpc8544ds: Updated kernel patch
- board/qemu/arm-versatile: Updated kernel patch
- board/qemu/mips*r6*: Updated kernel patch

Tested on all configs/qemu* configurations. [4]

I am not a huge fan of those linux-headers patches buried deep into
defconfig-specific locations. Indeed, I just tried today to build a SH4
toolchain... and fell precisely into those problems, and your patch is
not going to fix them.

What about having the patches in package/linux-headers/ for the few
linux headers versions that we officially support ?
